Random Shots

 Can you guess what it is?

 Chip looking out the cat door, scared of 

the vacuum cleaner!

Pretty profile of Tyler,

however, what he was looking at

wasn't.  It was a wolf spider on 

the ceiling. I won't gross you

out with that. 

However,

are you grossed out by the first?

It's Andy's tail peaking out of

my blanket!

I Don't Understand

I don't understand

how this world has become

so full of hate.

I don't understand

how a love of weapons take

precedence over compassion

and love for fellow human beings

who are the victims of violence.

I don't understand 

how groups of non believers

can start movements

and promote laws that take

any religious artifact

out of public buildings.

I don't understand 

how one nation, under God,

can turn its back on those

who are less fortunate.

And one thing I am really

having a hard time with,

is how there are so many

filled with hate,

who escape every 

consequence for their actions,

while one who is a man

of the cloth, who has dedicated

his entire life to God,

can be inflicted with such a 

horrifying, fatal disease

as ALS, and doomed 

to a horrible, inhumane death.

I don't understand.

I just don't understand.

And it's breaking my heart.

Cats on a Hot Tin Receiver

 Nap and Bath

 David and Goliath?

Hey. Get off my back!

Good-bye Annette

Every day after school,

I couldn't wait to get home

and watch

The Mickey Mouse Club.

I love the mousketeers,

and was a great fan of

Annette.

Later, her movies were

so much fun!

Annette was such an inspiration

for all young women.

She will be greatly missed,

and very fondly remembered.

Rest in Peace, Annette.

St. Patricks Day Fun!

 Last night, we went to my sister Wendy's for 

St. Patrick's Day party. What a riot!

We all had to wear something Irish,

Here is Mom at the photo booth

with her stylish headband!

 All of us gathered for a group picture.

 Ken and I had a riot!

He found an old sweatshirt, re-vamped it, and

claimed he stole it from a Leprechaun.

 All us sisters took a turn with a photo!

 Me with my niece, more like my daughter Becky.

Stair Makeover!

My niece Robyn and her husband bought our old farm house when we had our home built next door.  This  staircase was enclosed with a door going upstairs. They took down the wall, to show the banister and enlarge the dining room.  That left a gaping hole under the stairs, perfect for storage.  Robyn told Jay how she wanted the hole enclosed, and he built this fantastic shelving unit complete with a perfect size door for access to the space. Robyn had him put a glass doorknob that was on one of the homes original doors to open it. It turned out beautiful!  The original pinewood floors were uncovered, and refinished. Not bad for a home well over 100 years old!
